Illuminated disc airfoil toy

Abstract

A rotatable, transparent plastic, disc-shaped aerial toy having a gull wing shape in diametrical cross-section and being equipped with a rechargeable L. E. D. lighting system which illuminates the entire toy so as to produce a giant lens effect.

We claim: 
     
       1. An aerial toy adapted to be rotatably thrown and caught by hand comprising a gull wing shaped, crazed transparent disc; said disc having an arcuate peripheral edge and an integral upper surface sloping inwardly and downwardly from said edge and finally upwardly to a closely adjacent thickened central body portion to constitute a gull wing air foil of enhanced lift characteristics to afford a maximum flight range path for the toy; the upper surface of said peripheral edge and of said central body portion lying in the same horizontal plane; said crazed transparent disc when illuminated, comprising a circular optic fiber to indicate the angle of attack. 
     
     
       2. The invention recited in claim 1, light means mounted in said disc; and power means connected with said light means and mounted centrally of said disc 
     
     
       3. The combination recited in claim 2 wherein said power means comprises a rechargeable battery. 
     
     
       4. The combination recited in claim 2 wherein said light means comprises one or more light emitting unlensed diodes.
